Question 540
For AAA and ACL enforcement at a finance network core in Zurich, a maintenance test revisits the fault: An IPv6 traffic filter unexpectedly disrupts neighbor discovery after an explicit broad deny was inserted early. Which result validates the intended fix most directly?
Explanation
Correct Answer
This is the observable outcome for ipv6 nd permitted behavior. It tests whether the targeted change, 'Ensure required ICMPv6 neighbor discovery exchanges remain permitted in the applicable ACL logic', actually resolved the reported issue at a finance network core in Zurich. The original failure was: An IPv6 traffic filter unexpectedly disrupts neighbor discovery after an explicit broad deny was inserted early.
Incorrect Answers
That observation verifies acl applied wrong direction in a different situation, such as when an extended IPv4 ACL correctly describes unwanted inbound traffic but was attached outbound on the wrong router interface. For the reported ipv6 nd permitted behavior incident at a finance network core in Zurich, the required acceptance evidence is: Neighbor solicitation and advertisement function while prohibited IPv6 data traffic is still blocked. This other result does not test that condition directly.
That observation verifies router control-plane versus interface acl in a different situation, such as when an engineer relies on a transit ACL to protect all router CPU services even though router-destined flows use different paths. For the reported ipv6 nd permitted behavior incident at a finance network core in Zurich, the required acceptance evidence is: Neighbor solicitation and advertisement function while prohibited IPv6 data traffic is still blocked. This other result does not test that condition directly.
That observation verifies acl implicit deny in a different situation, such as when a router ACL was built with one permit line and unexpectedly blocks all other traffic. For the reported ipv6 nd permitted behavior incident at a finance network core in Zurich, the required acceptance evidence is: Neighbor solicitation and advertisement function while prohibited IPv6 data traffic is still blocked. This other result does not test that condition directly.
